Aubergine and Pineapple Curry

Aubergines cooked in a spiced tomato sauce and sweetened by the use of the pineapple. For a slightly different taste you could also add a couple of tablespoons of dessicated coconut, either way it makes a very good side dish for a meat curry,or, for vegetarians it has it all.

Heat the oil in a deep pot and fry the cumin seeds till they start to sputter.

Add the onions and garlic to the pot and fry for 3 mins, Add the curry paste, stir and add tomato puree and ground ginger . Cook for 2 mins, add the aubergine and green pepper stir to coat in the mixture, add the milk, bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover pot and simmer for 10 minutes. ( if the mixture thickens too much add tablespoon of water).
